Traveler advice
Getting around
Avoid 1960 from 7-9 am and 5-7 pm
Use the backroad with your google maps to travel to the major highways during the heavy traffic hours.
What to pack
Bring comfortable socks
The floors are wood in the house and tile in the kitchen and bathroom. Cozy socks make all the difference when relaxing in our home.
What to pack
The weather is unpredictably warm
Even in the winter months, you can find yourself in 70-80 degree weather, depending on if Jack Frost is on paid time off. Be sure to bring something for warm weather as a precaution to save from having to go shopping.
